Homes for Rent - Cheep!

Celebrate the arrival of spring with seven gourd birdhouse projects to paint! Homes for Rent - Cheep! contains fun projects for every style and season. The use of gourds as water bottles, dippers and storage containers goes back to a time beyond rememberance. The fact is, these simple members of the cucumber family have served us well for millennia.

Even though the practical uses of gourds have been replaced by modern materials, their esthetic appeal still lives on. Their natural form is appealing and variations in their growing conditions can cause them to ripen into an array of sizes and shapes.

Store your birdhouses indoors through the fall and winter months. In the spring and summer bring them out for the birds to enjoy or just keep them indoors year-round, preserving their beauty! 44 pages. Soft cover.
